ISN Returns

Mea_Culpa
The ISN Mailing List, or Internet Security News, has returned. After a long hiatus (the machine hosting the list lost its connection), Mea_Culpa of Attrition.org (the moderator of ISN) has announced its´ return. The list announces articles from across the Internet about computer security.
Text of attrition.org/security/isn.html:
InfoSec News is a privately run, medium traffic list that caters to distribution of information security news articles. These articles will come from newspapers, magazines, online resources, and more. To subscribe to ISN, send mail to listserv@securityfocus.com with "subscribe isn firstname lastname" in the BODY of the mail. To remove yourself from the ISN list, send a message with "signoff isn" in the BODY of the mail.
The subject line will always contain the title of the article, so that you may quickly and effeciently filter past the articles of no interest.
This list will contain:
Articles catering to security, hacking, firewalls, new security encryption, products, public hacks, hoaxes, legislation affecting these topics and more.
Information on where to obtain articles in current magazines.
Security Book reviews and information.
Security conference/seminar information.
New security product information.
And anything else that comes to mind..
Feedback is encouraged. The list maintainers would like to hear what you think of the list, what could use improving, and which parts are "right on". Subscribers are also encouraged to submit articles or URLs. If you submit an article, please send either the URL or the article in ASCII text. Further, subscribers are encouraged to give feedback on articles or stories, which may be posted to the list. Anonymous feedback is welcome.
Please do NOT:
* subscribe vanity mail forwards to this list
* subscribe from 'free' mail addresses (ie: juno, hotmail)
* enable vacation messages while subscribed to mail lists
* subscribe from any account with a small quota
All of these generate messages to the list owner and make tracking down dead accounts very difficult. I am currently receiving as many
as fifty returned mails a day. Any of the above are grounds for being unsubscribed. You are welcome to resubscribe when you address the issue(s). This is not a whim! Other moderaters have begun to do
the same. Read Perry Metzger's mail on his list to see what kind of problem he was dealing with.
Special thanks to the following for continued contribution:
William Knowles, Aleph One, Will Spencer, Jay Dyson,
Nicholas Brawn, Felix von Leitner, Phreak Moi,
Security Focus, and other contributers.
